Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 9
Seeing the stalemate, someone finally stood up and made a big move. It was the housekeeper Ge Minghui: "My lord, when Li You was in charge of the warehouse, he sold old grain at a low price. It is an unforgivable crime. He is not qualified to be in charge of the official house."

"Ge Minghui, don't spout blood!"

Before Qian Yuan made a statement, Li Feng exploded immediately, and said darkly: "Speaking is based on evidence, before you say anything, you should carefully weigh it, and be careful of encountering ghosts at night."

You are so young and vigorous, and you are blatantly threatening.

Ge Minghui is not afraid, "Of course I have evidence." He is in charge of the house, responsible for collecting land taxes and commercial taxes, managing household registration, warehouses, and financial revenue and expenditure, and dispatching corvees.

How could the tricks of the warehouse escape Ge Minghui's eyes? He didn't expose it before, but it was just an unspoken rule in the officialdom.

"Shit!" Li Feng's eyes flashed.

Knowing that it was time for him to appear on the stage, Qian Yuan coughed deliberately to attract everyone's attention, and then said in a deep voice, "Since someone has sued, he should investigate carefully, and he is also responsible for Li You. County Lieutenant Li, you are in charge of the criminal name of this county." , I'll leave it to you to be in charge of the review. During the review period, Li You was temporarily suspended."

"As ordered!"

Li Feng agreed unwillingly, but fortunately he was in charge of this matter, and there was still room for maneuver.

Qian Yuan's mouth showed an imperceptible smile, and said: "Li You is suspended, then Zhang Shouye will be promoted to the post of Li Fang Dian."

Others naturally had no objections.

Li Feng originally wanted to use this to overwhelm Zhang Huairen, but he didn't want to be bitten back by the other party. He really lost his wife and lost his army, making him ashamed.

The first round of the fight between Zhang and Li ended with Zhang Huairen winning a complete victory.

"The last thing, let the master say it."

Uncle Zhong understood, got up and said: "Everyone may be wondering why the prince is a fan, with only a dozen guards around him, without a single entourage."

"Yeah, it's weird."

Uncle Zhong didn't hold back, and told the whole story that he had thought up before.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to react. Li Feng's face turned pale. He was in charge of the whole county's security, and it was hard to absolve himself of the blame for such a serious case.

If the loss of Li You was just a small setback for the Li family, then if this crisis is not handled properly, it may overturn the family foundation.

How could Li Feng's face not be ugly.

Sure enough, Qianyuan spoke, "Li Xianwei, this incident happened at Qingqiu Station, which is located at the junction of this county and Qingqiu Prefecture. I have notified Qingqiu Prefecture. Next, you must cooperate with the government to take this matter Once the matter comes to light, I must give you a satisfactory explanation."

When it came to the latter, he was already decisive, and he didn't give Li Feng any face.

Uncle Zhong said that the superior should learn to be lenient and gentle, and being gentle will only make his subordinates look down on him.Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and this is what they are talking about.

"Obey!" Li Feng dared not answer.

This is what Uncle Zhong said, official affairs should be resolved with official rules.The Li family is strong, but it is far from being strong enough to challenge the rules of officialdom. That is a provocation to the entire class.

No one has such power.

"I'll give you a month, isn't that enough?"

"enough."

Li Feng gritted his teeth.

"That's it, let's go!"

The goal is achieved, and Qian Yuan is no longer entangled. I think everyone here will need time to digest it.

Before leaving, the chief secretary Cao Wen took a deep look at Qian Yuan. The authorities were confused, but the observers were clear. He didn't say a word the whole time, and suddenly found that everyone underestimated the prince.

"It's really a good method."

…………

Back in the back hall, Qianyuan let out a long sigh, finally nothing went wrong.

"Your Highness, you have done a good job." Uncle Zhong was very pleased. He found that since the last time he fell into a coma, His Highness has matured a lot, and disasters can really sharpen a person.

Qian Yuan sat down again, took a sip of strong tea, and his mouth felt a little unpleasant. Before in Shendu, he always used spiritual tea to rinse his mouth, but now he drank ordinary tea.

In front of spirit tea, even West Lake Longjing tea tastes the same.

Qian Yuan pressed his mind, "Fortunately, we finally got off to a good start. Next, we should consider accepting Yizeguan soldiers. Uncle Zhong, you should prepare well these few days."

The biggest difference between a vassal king and a county magistrate is that he has military power in his hands.

Qian Yuan, as a modern person, of course has a clear understanding of this point. The struggle of the county government is just a show, and it is the inside to have an army that is truly loyal to him.

Only with military power can we straighten our backs.

Until then, all opponents will be chickens and dogs, so there is no need to be so scrupulous like now.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. What I'm worried about is financial issues. After the fifth battalion is incorporated, the military expenditure will be a huge amount. Given the financial situation of the county government, it cannot afford it at all."

"Lack of money? I'll figure out a way." Qianyuan has a system and is naturally full of confidence. He can exchange any technology at will, and it will be a black technology if it is put in a big job. It should be no problem to support a county's finances.

Uncle Zhong said, "It's not money, it's Lingshi."

"Spirit stone?"

"Soldiers in the army are at least early warriors. They are poor and rich in martial arts. There is basically no shortage of money in their families. They are not in the army for that little salary, but for the cultivation of exercises, martial arts and cultivation resources."

The so-called cultivation resources include spiritual grains for daily consumption, body-building decoctions, and higher-level pills. None of them can be bought with money, and they all need spiritual stones.

But there are no spiritual stones in Yize County.

Generally speaking, local fiscal revenue includes two major items: direct revenue and indirect revenue.

The direct income is basically the spiritual stone mines in the territory, and the indirect income is through the collection of spiritual farmers' taxes on the spiritual grains, spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and spiritual fruits planted by the people, as well as the spiritual beasts they raise.

If the business is developed, the spiritual quotient tax can also be levied on the spiritual quotient.

Specifically in Yize County, Lingtian is almost in the hands of wealthy gentry. Even the mining rights to the only Lingshi vein were sold to the Zhang family at a price by the former county magistrate.

The Lingnong tax collected with great difficulty was transferred into their own pockets.

Yize County's business is withered, and the spiritual business tax is naturally negligible. It has been completely corrupted by those officials, and there is not even a single low-grade spiritual stone on the county government's account.

Why are the monks of Yu Yutian not pure-minded and ascetic, and those who are willing to do so want to be officials?One is that when the faculties share the luck of the dynasty, it helps to break through the bottleneck of practice; the other is that with the salary of Lingshi, you can also be greedy for resources for practice.

Anyway, comprehension is not something that can be achieved by retreating in the cave all day long. It is right to be experienced in the world of mortals. If you make political achievements, you can also enjoy the merits of heaven and earth.

It can be said to kill four birds with one stone.

Therefore, in the officialdom, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at every position. No matter how small the official position is, in the eyes of these people, it is a piece of fat.

This is why, Zhang Huairen and Li Feng turned their faces for a small pawn position.

After all, it is profit-driven.

After listening to Uncle Zhong's explanation, Qian Yuan was so angry that he almost dropped his teacup. Only then did he realize that what he had thought before was too simple. The relationship between Wen and Wu is not a simple external and internal relationship, but interrelated.

If the civil official group cannot be cured, there will not be enough spirit stones to support the army, and if there is no army loyal to him, the civil official group will not be able to be deterred.

The two complement each other.

"Anyway, get ready first."

Aware of the complexity of the matter, Qian Yuan couldn't talk enough.

…………

Back in the dormitory at night, Qian Yuan found more than a dozen strangers in the backyard, both men and women.

The men are all tall and mighty, with an average height of more than two meters. They wear servant caps and blue servant clothes;

Both men and women were a little cautious, and their eyes flickered when they saw Qian Yuan return.Aning was instructing them to sweep the courtyard, and smoke was rising from the kitchen, and the aroma was overflowing.

When Qian Yuan saw him, he said with a smile, "A'Ning, you brought this on?"

Aning trotted over, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead, and said excitedly: "Yes, Your Highness, they only need to take care of food and housing, and don't need a monthly salary. It's very cost-effective."

"Is there such a good thing?" Qian Yuan didn't believe it.

Uncle Zhong, who was invited to have a meal together, frowned as soon as he entered the yard, couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, they are all half-demons, so we can't take them."

"Half-demon?"

Qianyuan worked hard to search his memory and found information about the half-demon.
